What Is Corrugated Asbestos Roofing?

Corrugated asbestos sheets were commonly used for garages, sheds, farm buildings, and industrial units throughout the 20th century. These wavy sheets were prized for their durability and weather resistance. Unfortunately, they often contain chrysotile asbestos, which can become hazardous when disturbed.

If your property includes a garage, outhouse, or garden structure with an older corrugated roof, it’s essential to determine whether it contains asbestos and to have it professionally removed if necessary.

Why Asbestos Roofs Are Dangerous

Asbestos fibres are microscopic and easily inhaled. When materials such as corrugated sheets begin to degrade or crack, they release these harmful fibres into the air. Exposure can cause:

  • Mesothelioma
  • Asbestosis
  • Pleural thickening
  • Lung cancer

These conditions may not show symptoms for years. That’s why early detection and proper removal are vital — especially in residential areas where children, pets, or elderly residents may be more vulnerable.

Our Safe Process for Corrugated Roof Removal

At Ledbury Surveys Ltd, we follow strict HSE guidelines to safely remove and dispose of asbestos materials. Our process includes:

  1. Initial inspection and risk assessment
  2. Secure containment of the area
  3. Careful removal using industry-grade tools
  4. Licensed waste transportation and disposal
  5. Air testing and clearance certification (if required)

Our fully trained and insured professionals operate with minimal disruption to your property and daily routine.

We Also Offer Asbestos Ceiling and Garage Roof Removal

If your asbestos isn’t limited to the roof, don’t worry. We also handle asbestos ceiling panels, soffits, fascia boards, and insulation boards. Whether you're planning renovation work or simply want peace of mind, our team can manage the entire process from survey to safe disposal.
